Some problems with FW installation and copying files

XaRoL 22 Dec 2008 12:54

Hi dudes, recently I've adquired a WDWE I 500GB and I'm having a lot of problems. It came with 2.00.15 factory firmware. I have an iMac running Leopard and Windows XP (SP3). WDWE is configured using static IP.

Well, I started all of this mess trying to copy a 4,7Gb file from my external WD (USB) to my new WDWE I (NAS) getting an error message a few minutes after, hanging my network (only from my iMac not from the rest of the computers in the network), breaking connection with WDWE. I must reboot iMac to get again connection with WDWE. So , I decided to upgrade firmware but I only get an error message before downloading saying "firmware could't be downloaded, try again later" or something like that. I put this link in IE, Safari and Mozilla:

http://ip-of-your-mybook/auth/firmware_upgrade.pl?fwserver=martin.hinner.info/mybook/firmware.php

I tried to upgrade to an original WD firmware (2.00.18) and I got it !! but problems still remains so… how could install custom firmware from Martin Hinner and do a manually install ? How could I do this ? Booting Leopard is more usefull ? I think I read there's a problem with the last 2 official firmware closing SSH access, I am right ? I tried to connect through PUTTY and log in but get this message too when I'm logged in:

"Could not chdir to home directory /home/"username I used to log in": No such file or directory"

I've only got a headache from this f…. storage ! :$

Any help woulb be welcome. Thanks at all and sorry about my english !

Nobody can help me ? Is there any choice to install manually firmware through Telnet from Windows XP ?

sshd_config :

1. This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
2. sshd_config(5) for more information.

1. This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

1. The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
2. OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
3. possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a
4. default value.

1. For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh_known_hosts

#RhostsRSAAuthentication no

1. similar for protocol version 2

#HostbasedAuthentication no

1. Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM authentication, account processing,

4. Depending on your PAM configuration, this may bypass the setting of
